and why now? Increasingly tough legislation is driving the demand for
improved energy efficiency in the home, with the UK
Government committed to reducing CO2 emissions by
80% from 1990 levels, by 2050*2. This means a reduction
of at least 34% in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
It’s clear that to achieve these ambitious goals, our approach
to energy use and the way we heat our homes has to change.
Pivotal to this change is improved energy efficiency and a
greater use of renewable energy.
Air source heat pumps use free renewable energy from
the outside air and upgrade it for use in the home.
Why Ecodan air source heat pumps are
an ideal alternative to traditional heating
Recognised as a renewable technology by
both UK and EU Governments, heat pumps
provide an effective, energy efficient alternative
to traditional heating systems. Ecodan uses
advanced technology to heat homes and hot water
using energy absorbed from the outdoor air.
As perhaps the single most important renewable solution,
heat pumps are an established, proven technology, supported
by Government incentives, economically viable and flexible in
their application for domestic heating.
Significantly, the Committee on Climate Change recognise
that heat pumps could meet up to 75% of the total residential
heat demand in the UK*1.
Over the last decade continual developments and major
advances such as the introduction of variable capacity control
have helped to position Ecodan air source heat pumps as
the market leader.
Mitsubishi Electric has now introduced self-learning controls
to ease use along with a quality-assured, British-built cylinder
which can reduce installation time and costs.

The benefits Heating UK homes with Ecodan air source heat
pumps is now a viable and credible alternative to
of Ecodan traditional methods and can help to combat rising
energy bills through greater efficiency.
By using an Ecodan to provide space heating and hot water, it is
possible to reduce a home’s CO2 emissions and running costs.
Ecodan uses inverter-driven heat pump technology to
harvest and upgrade free, renewable energy from the
outdoor air to deliver heating and hot water, even in
temperatures as low as -20°C.
For every 1kW of input electrical
energy, Ecodan harvests and upgrades
renewable heat from the outdoor air to
provide the home with an average of
at least 3kW of heat output.*3

How Ecodan Heat pumps take electrical energy and low grade
heat energy from the outdoor air to heat refrigerant
air source heat which in turn heats water for domestic use and space
heating. The efficiency of a heat pump is known
as the Coefficient of Performance or CoP. This is
pumps work a ratio of the heat delivered to power consumed.
The operation of a heat pump is similar to a refrigerator - but
in reverse. This process is known as the vapour compression
cycle and the following is a more detailed explanation.
*8
At the beginning of the first phase the refrigerant
is a cold low pressure liquid.
1. The refrigerant passes into the evaporator and heat energy from
the outside air passes over the evaporator causing the refrigerant
to increase in temperature and change to a hot gas.
2. This hot gas then enters the compressor where its temperature
increases further as a result of the compression process.
3. The hot refrigerant gas is then condensed as it passes across
one side of a plate heat exchanger. The heat is transferred to the
cooler side (water side) of the heat exchanger, and this is transferred
via the primary water circuit to heat up the water tank inside
the property. As the temperature of the refrigerant decreases
the state changes from a gas back to a cool liquid.
4. Despite dropping in temperature, the cool liquid still has a high
pressure and to reduce this pressure the liquid refrigerant passes
through an expansion valve. This causes the pressure to drop and
the temperature lowers, returning the refrigerant to its initial state
of cool low pressure liquid.
This process is repeated.
It is only the refrigerant that passes through this cycle; the
water is heated as it travels through the plate heat exchanger.
The heat energy from the refrigerant passes through the
plate heat exchanger to the cooler water which increases
in temperature. This heated water enters the home heating
circuit and can also be used to provide domestic hot water
via a hot water cylinder.

Inverter driven heat pumps offer significant energy savings over

(45dBA)*9, Ecodan is quick to install, rivals traditional gas or
oil heating systems in its ease of use and easily meets
renewable energy targets.
Ecodan achieves high levels of efficiency
because the system allows the lowest flow
temperature to be targeted whilst still
maintaining the desired room temperature.
It does this by using room temperature as well as outdoor
temperature, making the system respond both faster and
more accurately, creating a more stable and comfortable
home while maintaining system efficiency.

locations. The properties included a newly built 3-bed terraced

During the trial period, temperatures dropped as low as -10ºC,
but Ecodan still delivered the performance necessary, proving
that they will cope throughout the year in a variety of different
properties and heating configurations.
The Ecodan units in the properties delivered COPs*10 ranging
from 3.0 to 3.33, despite the low temperatures. A level of 3.33
shows that 2.33kW of renewable energy is being harvested

Installation took 2 days to find a heating system that was more efficient with less
impact on the environment.
Unable to use gas, they considered ‘greener’
alternatives to oil, such as wood, solar thermal
and biomass, but all of these seemed to prove
either insufficient for their needs or too
involved to install, run and maintain.
Replacing their old oil-fired heating system, which had become
increasingly inefficient over the 15 years they’d had it, they
found Ecodan to be much more efficient and effective to run.
Being able to get rid of all the old water tanks and pipes in the
loft freed up a lot of space and having installed larger, more
efficient radiators throughout, their home is now warm enough
without the need to boost the heating with log fires, as they
previously would have done.
Unlike other residents in the village, the Fox family no longer
have to rely on increasingly expensive oil to heat their home
and by converting to Ecodan, from their initial heating bill,
they estimate an annual saving of £500.
In addition, with Ecodan they enjoy a more even temperature
throughout the house. The new system also provides them
with copious amounts of hot water - more than enough for
even their two teenagers who live in the shower!

Installation took 2 days renewable energy, such as solar thermal and biomass, were
considered but discounted for proving either ineffective or too
high maintenance. A powerful, renewable energy solution was
required. With inconsistent levels of comfort coupled with
escalating gas bills, this home stood to benefit substantially
from a more efficient means of heating.
Unlike the ageing gas system that was previously installed,
Ecodan uses the latest technology to harvest renewable
energy from the outside air to provide central heating and hot
water. Easy to install, the advanced efficiency of Ecodan, is
perfect for this 1950’s home.
Using Ecodan to replace the inefficient gas boiler and installing
larger radiators to work with the lower flow temperatures,
means this home enjoys constant comfort levels for a fraction
of the cost of the old gas boiler. Able to supply all the heating
and hot water this property needs, Ecodan is the ideal, low
carbon replacement these homeowners needed. Changing to
Ecodan has cut this homes carbon footprint by 45% and
improved the efficiency to significantly reduce the annual

Domestic Heating CAHV Monobloc System
CAHV Monobloc System
Specifically designed for large applications, the Ecodan CAHV air
source heat pump monobloc system can operate singularly, or form
part of a multiple unit system. The CAHV also comes equipped with a
wide range of controller features as standard.
A multiple unit system has the ability to cascade available units on and off to meet
the load from a building. As an example of this modulation, a 16 unit system allows
0.5kW increments of capacity, from 18kW all the way up to 688kW.
This level of modulation is unprecedented within the heating industry and with
CAHV-P500YA-HPB cascade and rotation built in as standard, the Ecodan CAHV system is perfectly
suited to a wide range of commercial applications.
Key Features
Multiple unit cascade control of up to 688kW capacity
Split refrigerant circuits within each CAHV provide 50% back up
Certificate Number: MCS HP0002
Ability to rotate units based on accumulated run hours
